Robert Parker 90
"The 2010 Cotes du Rhone Reserve (a blend of 70% Grenache, 20% Syrah and 10% Cinsault, with nearly 10,000 cases imported) is outstanding. Dense purple, with notes of roasted meats, black raspberries, blackberries, licorice and lavender, this wine is just terrific. Medium to full-bodied, rich and certainly far deeper and more concentrated than one has any reason to expect from a wine that sells for $15 (the taste is more like one for $35 to $50), this is a winner that will drink well for 4-5 years. "
Rhone Report 91
"Surpassing the excellent '09 by a fair bit, the inky colored 2010 Domaine Grand Veneur Cotes du Rhone Reserve, a blend of 70% Grenache, 20% Syrah, and 10% Cinsault, delivers textbook, classical aromas of black cherry and blackberry styled fruits that are intermixed with notions of licorice, garrigue, lavender, and dusty minerality. Thrillingly concentrated and fresh on the palate, with beautiful purity, a polished texture, and ripe tannin, this Chateauneuf-du-Pape look alike benefits from a decant, and should have upwards of a decade of prime drinking. A crazy value, this is a no brainer case purchase."
